FREEZE WALK
JUNE 6
"In the long run, people are going to do
more to promote peace than are the governments.
Indeed, I think, people want peace so much that
one of these days governments had better get out
of the way and let them have it."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
The Freeze Walk is somewhat of an
historical measure of the popularity of an
important movement in central Indiana.
Benefiting the Indianapolis Nuclear Weapons
Freeze, this annual event draws support from
local and some state groups and individuals. It
offers them a chance to join together for a brisk 5
kilometer walk through the city, raising
awareness and money for the ongoing
educational efforts with which the Freeze is
involved. In addition to the walk there is an all-
day celebration of life and peace which goes on
during the day and into the evening - in support
of the work being done to halt and reverse the
US/USSR nuclear arms race. It is a family
oriented celebration looking positively toward a
future free from fear and threat of nuclear war.
The first large demonstration in 1984
consisted of about 70 people gathered for a walk
to Naval Avionics. The first official Freeze Walk
was held at Military Park in 1985, with about
175 supporters in attendance. Last year 300 or
more walkers wound their way through
downtown Indianapolis beginning and ending in
the energized setting of University Park. The
beautiful flora and fountain will again this year be
a backdrop as we gather in University Park.
This year's extravaganza will also center
around a 5K walk through downtown Indy,
where walkers will join in step and song
protesting the nuclear arms race. Registration
and music begin at 11AM in the park.
Volunteers will accept pledges and register
walkers as performers from around the state offer
their talent in positive stance against the forces
which threaten annihilation of our planet. Bill
Wilson and The Spirtles headline a show
including performances by Greg Ziesemer, Mac
Belner and other women in the group Patchwork,
Tim Brickley, and Paul Michael Ash, a Vietnam
veteran, singing songs of experience and a deep
affection for life, peace and the environment.
